When the last votes were counted and this proved to be the most egregious case [of five!!!] of the popular vote being eclipsed by the electoral college system, I realised that Trump would take not only being trounced but being trounced by a woman very badly. It shows his and his supporters' claims that his victory is some seismic change in American politics to be pure nonsense. The demographics are already on the side of the Democrats, as the 2016 result shows.

I'd hoped that Trump might just have enough neurons in his head to shut up and behave with dignity and get on with his new job. But the signs are that he's every bit as deranged now as he's been for decades. It's going to take everything the Republican Party can bring to bear on this whackjob to keep him from alienating practically everyone by, I'd guess, next March. I really don't see how he can serve a full four-year term.
